Greeat mod! Make sure to install the 255 pumps, 60lb injectors, colder plugs, and a Mafia or equivelant, and get a good tune. If you're on the stock block I'd keep it 17lbs or less. Thats about it

Sure, you can bolt it on and go. It likely wont last though. At minimun you need a tune.The other stuff is good insurance and SHOULD be used. Nothing like skimping on parts just to save $ only to spend double that to repair all that was ruined b/c of it. lol And yes, 17lbs (max) would be ok with the mods I previously listed and a good safe tune.

Nope...not at all.

Reread post number #2 and #4 and you'll be good to go.

Although, if it were me, I'd probably keep the boost a little less than 17lbs.

Also, are you talking about a used 2.3 KB, or the new 2.6 KB?

Sweet! They make really nice power. A definite step up over the older 2.3 they had been selling.

You have a PM bro!
